What does the Palme d 'Or Award mean at Cannes Film Festival? Chen Kaige's information, detailed!

Golden Palm Award, formerly known as "Golden Duck Award". The Palme d 'Or Award is the highest award in Cannes Film Festival, which is equivalent to the Oscar's "Best Film". Because its trophy is made of branches of Palme d 'Or, it is called "Palme d 'Or"-this is because Cannes, a coastal city in southern France, has tall palm trees planted everywhere on golden and silver beaches. It has been set up since 1946, the first Cannes International Film Festival.

It must be pointed out that the short film unit also has a Palme d 'Or award, which is equivalent to Oscar's "Best Live Short Film". However, the established "Golden Palm Award" only refers to the palm branches (long films) in the main competition unit.

The Palme d 'Or award is no less difficult than the golden statuette in the best film Oscar. Throughout history, the "Palme d 'Or Club" has only five (six) members: francis ford coppola (USA), billy august (Denmark), Shohei Imamura (Japan), emir kusturica (former Yugoslavia) and luc dardenne (Belgium). (The members of the "Double Palme d 'Or" calculated here do not include the "Best Short Film Award in the Palme d 'Or". )

Familiar people, such as Paris (Wim Mendes) in Texas, Pulp Fiction (quentin tarantino), dancer in the dark (Lars von Trier), pianist (roman polanski), Fahrenheit 9 1 1 (michael moore) and so on. , are the Palme d 'Or awards. The first Asian work that won the Palme d 'Or award was Hell's Gate by Japanese director Teinosuke Kinugasa 1953, and the only China film that won the Palme d 'Or award was Farewell My Concubine by Chen Kaige (1993, tied with Piano Class directed by female directors Jane Campil).
